Man it seems like it's been a hot minute since we posted a new tune from local ATH favorite band The Sour Notes .

This new song "Two Hands Wait" appears on a new split 73 the band just put out with fellow local band Marmalakes . Enjoy. Download: The Sour Notes - Two Hands Wait [...]

Any conversation about the best new bands in Austin has to include Marmalakes, a trio that on the strength of last year's debut EP, Wonder Winds , and charmingly buoyant live shows has helped galvanize a scene of unassuming, earnest and impressive young artists. On songs like the anthemic "Vittoria", the band catches a perfect pop folk-pop hook that shadows elements of Local Natives and even Vampire Weekend, while winding through detailed landscapes with an alliterative laden wit. Marmalakes will be releasing their second EP later this year, but you should catch them as soon as possible, which happens [...]
